Jacobs Escapades

Short post to tell you about a new topic I’ve decided to pursue here. Environmentalism. I’ve always held a passion and admiration for our home, that’s largely why i got into photography, but with environmental sustainability being an ever-growing issue today, I will be covering the good parts of it.

Good Parts of it?

Yes, the side of the news that isn’t designed to scare you and fear monger you into being scared for the future and make you fall into a spiral of dread (like I was). I’m here to shed a different light on environmental issues, not so much be an activist, but more of an informer allowing you to come to your own conclusions and formulate your own opinion on such matters. I’m here to give you unbiased information, and tell the whole story and hopefully inspire some confidence and trust to know that things are actually getting better and there IS hope for a better future ahead of us.

Here’s a Little Scoop

Plastics are a huge issue, especially micro plastics being talked about a lot recently. All you ever hear about is micro plastics being basically forever because earth can’t break it down naturally. Well here’s some hope for that https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2023/04/14/fungi-makes-meal-of-hard-to-recycle-plastic.html. Fungi, yes the huge new craze in western media, has been shown to release enzymes that break down and biodegrade plastic far quicker than “natural” methods of just waiting. I won’t spoil it for you by paraphrasing but go give it a read, its quite interesting and personally instilled some confidence in me.

What’s Next?

Well for starters more and more articles such as those, and hopefully giving you hope for a brighter and cleaner future. There’s still a ton of progress to made don’t get me wrong, but the horizons are getting brighter and one step at a time will get us to the endpoint. Take care of yourself and until next time.
